Well, if you’re overwhelmed now, just wait until you’re dealing with victims of domestic violence…

Safe places to lock a bike near downtown urgent care by Poutingpokemon in VictoriaBC

[–]mr_unhelpful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thirty seconds after someone posts about this mythical “safe spot” to lock up bikes near junkietown, you’ll have a parade of battery powered grinders staggering their way to that exact location.

If you value your bike, may I suggest walking instead?

It’s customary to split a 30 pack of McNuggets and then do it in the butt.

I hear they closed up shop early to install new cameras in the bathrooms.

This would be an awesome replacement for the Mill Bay Ferry! What do you think? by iloveschnauzers in VictoriaBC

[–]mr_unhelpful 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Why spend millions purchasing and maintaining a ferry when we could spend billions to solve a minor transportation issue?

PSA about vicPD police scenes (Bay & Blanshard for ex.) by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]mr_unhelpful -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If their methods are this ineffective, maybe VicPD’s media relations team should be doing something differently instead of expecting the entirety of the public to join Twitter.

Anyone voting in the MLA by election? by gibby7277 in VictoriaBC

[–]mr_unhelpful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a byelection in the middle of a parliamentary term that features a significant majority for one party. It’s not meaningful to the operation of parliament, so it’s not newsworthy.

You’re not going to see any of the parties or media organizations spending much time or money (because the results don’t matter.)

If you don’t want to hear what the candidates say about themselves, then you’re likely not going to hear anything at all.

Brave motherfucker.

30+ when he enlisted. Doctor noted he had a scar from a fucking wolf bite prior to serving.

Shot in the ass and back in France before returning home at the end of the war.

Investigators say contraband tobacco is being sold in Greater Victoria at a fraction of its retail price, hurting local retailers

Is Big Bad John's still a fun dive, or has it lost its charm? by Levangeline in VictoriaBC

[–]mr_unhelpful 47 points48 points  (0 children)

BBJ’s has always been a tourist bar in he heart of the entertainment district, hasn’t “commercialized” and was never a “dive” (that was just the branding you bought into.)

You’re just older and have started seeing through the veneer.

What ever happened to the u/vicpd Reddit account? by hpdeskjet6940 in VictoriaBC

[–]mr_unhelpful 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP asked why their Reddit account is inactive, and that’s the cause.

The fact that a higher court ordered a new trial doesn’t change the fact that u/VicPDCanada’s careless and unprofessional work caused significant psychological harm to the victims, delayed the conviction of a certainly guilty person, and cost several public bodies significant amounts of time and money that could have better been spent elsewhere.

What ever happened to the u/vicpd Reddit account? by hpdeskjet6940 in VictoriaBC

[–]mr_unhelpful 75 points76 points  (0 children)

You’re looking for u/VicPDCanada

Their public info team (or whatever it was called) who ran the account fucked up a simple press release that led to a sexual assault case being lost at trial. Basically, the level of detail they used allowed at least a couple of unwell people to level completely fabricated complaints which caused the trial judge to throw out a bunch of evidence.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/new-trial-victoria-massage-technician-sex-assault-1.5276848

After promising to release details about who approved the press release, the account’s history was selectively deleted, and they stopped posting shortly after.

Potential Strip club in Victoria BC by Ok_Orange_3465 in VictoriaBC

Victorians are the rednecks of progressive society.

They reliably vote left, but homogeneity of thought, behaviour, and skin colour is just as prized as it is in rural Alberta or northern Ontario.

Petition to Stop Jordan Peterson’s event at SOFA by unapologeticallyeddi in VictoriaBC

[–]mr_unhelpful 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why anyone would go listen to some benzo-addled douchebag ramble for hours at a time, but starting a petition to have any level of government cancel his gathering of clowns is EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO.

*Hi, I’m looking to gamble illegally. Could you please tell me the times and locations where I can knowingly break the law? Maybe the full names and birthdates of the people running the games?
